It’s a story that will have you believing in miracles: a Texas cat was set to have her leg amputated — but then something unexplainable happened just in time.
A 3-year-old cat named Cheesecake was taken in by the South Plains SPCA after being found outside a nearby Cheesecake Factory restaurant.
Her front leg was severely injured, and a vet said that the leg would have to be amputated, according to a Facebook post from the SPCA.
Cheesecake was put on strict cage rest and waited two weeks for her surgery. But just two days before the cat’s leg was set to be amputated, something unexpected happened: Cheesecake was healed!
The SPCA wrote that she could “miraculously walk again,” a development that baffled their veterinarians.
“The vet was amazed and has never seen an injury like mine heal like this in 20 years of practice. I can walk, climb, scratch, and play on all four feet,” reads their post, written from the voice of Cheesecake.
Now, this “miracle” cat is up for adoption and looking for a home. The SPCA described her as “sweet” and “well-adjusted,” who loves attention and being petted. She has to be the only cat in the household and is an indoor only cat.
Cheesecake is fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped, and her adoption fee is $150. Interested adopters can reach out to [email protected].
What a miracle — we’re so glad Cheesecake’s injured leg did not have to be amputated after all, and hope she finds a great forever home soon!
